You can get off the merry-go-round of anxious and self-defeating thoughts.
ACCEPTING CLIENTS. I love to help women that feel they are being crushed by anxiety and expectations. I help my clients gain confidence, set boundaries, and begin prioritizing taking care of themselves. I work with anxiety, OCD, trauma processing, and perinatal concerns (pregnancy through postpartum).

You're someone who is looking to find just the right fit in a counselor. Maybe you are experiencing grief, or having difficulty adjusting to life changes. Perhaps you have a general sense of dissatisfaction with life, or have specific things you want to work through. Or, maybe you're feeling trapped by anxiety, or past trauma, and you want to feel a sense of hope; to be seen, heard, and understood. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy, and the things you may want to work on are important and unique.

Throughout my professional career I have focused on men and men's issues, relationship struggles, marriage and family issues, issues of faith and spirituality, depression and anxiety, sexual issues and identity, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), grief and loss, career, parenting, and adolescent issues.
Change comes through relationship and at Northwest Counsel I desire for you to see real, positive change in your life and your personal relationships.
To give you an idea of what to expect, your first appointment is your chance to explain special circumstances and ask any questions about therapy. You will get a feel for who I am and how I can serve you, and together we can determine if I will help guide you to the next step on your journey of wellness. Sessions typically last 45-55 minutes and are custom tailored to your situation and your needs.

A core component of my approach is my training and experience in somatic and body-based therapeutic modalities. Somatic therapy helps bring our mind and body into balance by reconnecting us to the wisdom of our bodies.

My work is influenced by the thought of existentialist philosophers and psychologists who speak compassionately to a profound and uniquely human dilemma—the quest for meaning in the face of suffering. Psychotherapy provides a safe and intimate space in which we might expand our capacity to bear suffering and to find meaning within and through it. Depth psychology proposes that the psyche consists of both conscious and unconscious thoughts, impulses, fantasies, and ideas. Symptoms (of depression, anxiety, addictions, etc.) are more than painful indicators of psychopathology.

My goal as your therapist is to help you find healing. Whether I am the right fit or not, you will leave our consultation one or two ways; ready to dive in together and do the work or help with finding the right therapist.

I believe everyone has a right to live a calm, happy and fulfilled life. For some, that is easier said than done. For those who are having a more challenging time finding the life they want, counseling may be the right choice to help guide those who are ready for change. I work with adults, couples and families who are struggling with life's challenges. I offer researched based systems, therapies and support for the individual, as well as resources for the entire family, to help bring function and joy to their lives.

The world we live in is an ever changing and fast paced place that can often times add complexities to our lives, our relationships, our internal thoughts and emotions that we didn’t anticipate or were not ready for. In these times it can be helpful to seek therapy to have someone support your growth into the person you want to be in a respectful, empathetic, and judgment-free environment.

I believe in the inherent glory, beauty, and strength within each individual. While this may sound idealistic, it's undeniable that our lives often encompass brokenness, pain, darkness, and shame, which can obscure our true essence. My mission is to guide you through understanding your personal narrative or "mythos" that has sculpted your identity. This involves exploring your self-perception, spiritual beliefs, and interactions with the world. I am committed to journeying with you through the depths of pain and darkness to uncover the profound truth of our existence - that we are intimately known and cherished by God.

I love to help people live more authentic, fuller lives by celebrating the things that make you unique, and helping you identify what you need to live a more values-driven life. I often work with folks who want to feel less trapped in worry, sadness, anger, or feelings of worthlessness and loneliness. Many come to me with traumatic or painful past experiences, and they want to better navigate relationships with others or manage their emotions in healthier ways. They want to find meaning in their lives, and be more confident in who they are as an individual.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
